GIANT 12 Foot Gator on Lake Okeechobee! Hunting Swamp Lizards in South Florida

Lake Okeechobee is the largest freshwater lake in all of Florida. It is also home to some really LARGE alligators. Gator season opens every year in Florida on August 15th and many outdoor enthusiasts hit Florida's lakes, canals and swamp in search of these freshwater dinosaurs. Those who want to hunt gators must apply for tags with the FWC (Florida Wildlife Commission) when the application process opens in the summer. The demand for tags is much higher than the supply making it difficult to get drawn. So, when the opportunity presented itself to ride along with Corey McConaughey and Timmy Maddock Jr. for a gator hunt on south Lake Okeechobee, I didn't hesitate. My first and last gator adventure prior to this one was several years before with my two boys when they were much younger. We fished at night running around from an airboat on the lake. It was an absolute blast! Both of my boys harvested their first gators, a memory we will share together forever!

When I hopped on the Corey's duck boat for this trip and took a look at the gear, I knew these guys knew what they were doing. What I didn't know, was the adrenaline rush we had in store later in the day! Watch the video all the way through and keep your hands and feet inside the boat at all times. You're in for a WILD ride!
